R.I. TRIBE REINTRODUCES PLANS FOR RESORT CASINO - 2004-02-06
The Narragansett Indian tribe Wednesday revived a proposal for a $500 million resort casino in West Warwick, as that town's legislators get ready to introduce a bill to ask voters in November whether they support the tribe's project.
The Charlestown-based tribe projects a casino would create 6,700 jobs and generate more than $100 million in annual revenue for the state, according to an informational page on the tribe's Web site.
The proposed West Warwick casino would have 3,500 gambling stations and a 1,000-room hotel. Las Vegas-based Harrah's Entertainment, which has partnered with the tribe, would develop the gaming facility.
